The 13th century Old Norse KarlamagnAs-Saga, a monumental biography
of Charlemagne from translated and adapted French Caroline epics
such as the Chanson de Roland, is a fascinating example of
intensive reception at a distance. Its first branch appears to
pre-empt the whole in a compressed form, and has thus been puzzling
scholars for more than a century. This study is the first to
illuminate the circumstances surrounding the genesis of its French
model, and a running commentary allows the present-day reader to
approach the text (even without a knowledge of Old Norse).
